Today after two hunts and an hour into another one for a total of 9 hours since my last gold Diablo dropped this little jewel into my sifter!!:thumbup:

It's small, only 10K and the "stones" are not diamonds, but I don't care!!:biggrin:

I like it!!:)

The clad, junk bracelet and toe ring, plus can slaw etc, added up to 28 targets recovered in 3 hours.

I headed home when the sun and temperatures dropped outa sight!!

Water temp was 51 degrees and air 49 degrees, but the sun helped keep my wet suit comfortable.

GL&HH Friends,

Mighty Fine! We are just now getting a skiff of ice around the edges of still water. A fellow almost needs two pairs of waders, one a size larger than normal for heavier socks! I've got a place scoped out for the weekend I hope to get to. Nice Work there Cuppa!:clapping:

Water hunting demands a variety of waders to allow hunting when the weather is nice and when it is lousy!!

Lightweight stocking footed, light neoprene boot footed, heavy neoprene boot footed, "farmer John" shorty, 3 Mil wet suit, heavy two piece 7 Mil wet suit, and a dry suit are just about enough to keep me in the water all year here in Long Island Sound. (My dry suit is too light for cold weather hunting even with three layers of thermals inside! It is intended for kayaking in mild weather.)

Extreme low temps and wind are the primary deciding factors during the winter and rough water keeps me on the dry too, all year long!!

In the past I hunted on occasion when there were huge ice chunks floating down the Connecticut River from Coast Guard ice breakers keeping the channel open for oil barges, but only on clear sunny days. The temps were in the mid to high 20s with no wind, but I'm older and hopefully wiser now!!

Thanks for your reply Mud,:thumbup:

I should have added this note!

Other items are necessary to help you be more comfortable such as, shoulder length rubber gauntlets, 7 Mil. dive boots and water-proof insulated gloves(When wearing wet suits.) and a good hooded rain jacket or dry top for breezy/rainy conditions.
 
I'll say one thing Cupajo, you are one determined detectorist hunter and a fine example for us all. Congrats on your latest finds and particularly this nice ring. I know this hobby is great therapy for the soul as I can personally attest to and I'm sure it's helped particularly yourself with the challenges of this year....as always, GL&HH!
